Have you wonder what SMP's authors likes to read during the Holidays?
Here are some of their answers:
Favorite Holiday Book
Ruth Logan Herne
The Crippled Lamb by Max Lucado (I cry every time!!!)
Donna Alward
Twas the Night Before Christmas, because we still read it every year even though the kids are grown!
Laura Trentham
I've read Pete the Cat Saves Christmas about a hundred times since last Christmas to my daughter. I can recite the book, and I've even dreamed about it.
Nancy Naigle
I love all of those specialty shape hard cover Christmas books. I reread them every year. My favorite? Debbie Macomber's "There's Something About Christmas" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXjcyCXUSnU
Margaret Brownley
The Night Before Christmas brings back happy memories of when the children were young and my husband read the story to us on Christmas Eve.
Tara Wyatt
The Christmas He Loved Her by Juliana Stone. Emotional, moving story, beautiful setting, steamy sex, all set against the perfect Christmas backdrop.
Opal Carew
Can I say my own? Big Package, although the title is tongue in cheek, is funny and heart-warming, and a very poignant love story, as well as being sizzling hot! The fact that it takes place in a Canadian blizzard while the hero and heroine are driving to Ottawa (my city!) makes it all that much more special to me.
Emily March
'Twas the Night Before Christmas was magical to me as a child. It still is.
Melissa Cutler
Impossible to pick just one
